L.4.1 Volume I - Technical Experience Factor

L.4.1.1 The offeror shall substantiate recent and comparable technical experience by providing the requested information below.

Technical experience shall be from recent contracts, which can include foreign, federal, state, local, and private industry contracts.

The Government will not consider the technical experience of individuals or key personnel. The Government will only consider the corporate technical experience of the prime offeror for Subfactor 1. However, for Subfactors 2 and 3, the Government will consider corporate technical experience of both the prime offeror and any proposed subcontractors.

L.4.1.1.1 For purposes of this Technical Experience Factor, if a joint venture entity is the offeror, the joint venture (JV) members will be considered as the offeror, regardless of how the joint venture is structured. In its proposal, JV offerors shall fully describe which Subfactor statement of work requirements each of the JV members will perform. The Technical Experience volume shall demonstrate how, and the extent to which, the proposed technical experience of the JV members will be utilized if awarded a contract. If a JV

5 19

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

member's technical experience in the Subfactors below does not align to the tasks they will perform under this effort, the technical experience may be discounted in the evaluation.

L.4.1.1.2 The Government will only consider recent technical experience. Recent technical experience is defined as technical experience performed on a contract determined to be recent. Recent contracts are those performed within five years of the date of issuance of this

Request for Proposal (RFP).

L.4.1.1.3 For the purposes of the Technical Experience Factor, a contract is:

(i) a single task or delivery order placed under a single-award or multiple-award IDIQ task order contract (FAR 16.501-1) that does not contain multiple work directives or similar instruments which contain separate statements of work; or,

(ii) a single work directive or similar instrument which contains a separate statement of work issued under a broader contract; or,

(iii) a single order placed under a basic ordering agreement (BOA) (FAR 16.703); or,

(iv) a single task order placed under a federal supply schedule (FSS) (FAR 8.405-2); or,

0007, B Entities; and SAE-TA-STD-0017, Activities 9.5 and 9.8 and (b) a Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) report for a subsystem of a major component of an end item developed in accordance with SAE-AS1390 and SAE-TA-STD-0017, Activity 11.7, as described in Section

M.4.4.1.

L.4.1.1.5 The offeror shall submit a completed Attachment 0010 - Technical Experience Matrix, which consists of three tabs (Subfactor 1, Subfactor 2, and Subfactor 3).

L.4.1.1.6 Performance Approach Information (applicable only if proposing subcontractor technical experience): The offeror shall provide a brief written narrative (recommended 1 page or less) describing which Subfactor statement of work activities, listed above in

L.4.1.1.4(ii) or (iii), each of the proposed subcontractors for whom it is submitting technical experience information will perform under this contract. The offeror's written narrative shall also describe how, and the extent to which, the resources of the technical experience of the proposed subcontractors will be utilized for the same Subfactor statement of work activities for this effort. The offeror shall include copies of any signed teaming agreements or contracts with the proposed subcontractor(s) that substantiate the

Subfactor statement of work activities to be performed by the subcontractor under this effort.

L.4.1.1.7 Other Affiliated Entities. If any contract submitted as part of the Technical Experience Factor was performed by an affiliated corporate entity or division other than the offeror that would perform work under this RFP, please identify the entity and how they are related to the offeror, and explain how the resources of the other entity will be utilized in the performance of this effort.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

L.4.1.3.1 In order to substantiate technical experience in the development of drawings, the offeror shall submit no more than 50 sheets of drawings (artifacts) across, a total of no more than three recent contracts. Drawing size (sheet size) is not restricted. The offeror is encouraged to submit multiple types of drawings (as defined in ASME Y14.24), with emphasis on drawing types that best demonstrate conformance to the specific criteria listed in Section M.4.1.3.1. The contractor may submit individual drawings as multiple drawing types if the drawing meets the requirements of both drawing types (see ASME Y14.24-2012, paragraph 1.8). An example of an individual drawing addressing multiple drawing types is an installation drawing including detailed views of fabricated parts. If drawings are so large as to prevent submittal of various drawing types within the maximum sheet count identified, the offeror may omit from drawings those sheets that do not demonstrate experience comparable to the criteria listed in Section M.4.1.3.1.

L.4.1.3.2 The offeror shall provide a copy of each of the recent contract(s) under which submitted drawings were completed. If the statement of work does not specifically call for the development of drawings, the offeror shall provide a written narrative explaining how the development of the provided drawings was pertinent to the performance of the statement of work.

L.4.1.3.3 The Government will only evaluate the first (up to) 50 sheets of drawings that are associated with the first (up to) three contracts that the offeror specifies in the Subfactor 2 Tab of Attachment 0010.

L.4.1.4 Subfactor 3: Development and delivery of both (a) a FMECA report for a subsystem of a major component of an end item and (b) a

LORA report for a subsystem of a major component of an end item.

L.4.1.4.1 The offeror shall submit no more than one artifact for each of the below, performed on a recent contract:

(i) a FMECA report in accordance with ANSI/AIAA S-102.2.4 Sections 4 and 5; SAE-TA-HB-0007-1, LSA-056**; SAE-GEIA-STD-0007, B Entities; ___________________________ and SAE-TA-STD-0017, Activities 9.5 and 9.8; and

(ii) a LORA report developed in accordance with SAE-AS1390 and SAE-TA-STD-0017, Activity 11.7.

L.4.1.4.2 The offeror shall provide a copy of the contract(s) under which the FMECA and LORA reports were performed. If the statement of work does not specifically call for the development and delivery of a FMECA and/or a LORA report, the offeror shall provide a written narrative explaining how the development and delivery of the provided FMECA and/or LORA report(s) was pertinent to the performance of the statement(s) of work.

L.4.1.4.3 The offeror is required to specify in the Subfactor 3 tab of Attachment 0010 a single subsystem of a major component of an end item for which the FMECA and LORA were performed. The Government will only evaluate the proposed single subsystem of a major component of an end item in the FMECA and/or LORA report the offeror specifies in the Subfactor 3 tab of Attachment 0010.

L.4.1.5 Technical Experience Volume

L.4.1.5.1 These proposal instructions for the Technical Experience Factor advise offerors as to the information required by the

Government to evaluate the offeror's recent technical experience compared to the Technical Experience Subfactors listed above. As this information is crucial to the Government's review, it is imperative that offerors present technical experience in a clear and complete manner. Failure to provide some or all of the information requested in this volume may result in an assessment that the offeror's technical experience is not recent, not substantiated, and/or not comparable to the Technical Experience Subfactors, which could result in the proposal being assessed as higher risk.

L.4.1.5.2 The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals or to search for information not contained in the offeror's proposal. It is the offeror's responsibility to provide detailed, thorough, and complete Technical

Experience proposal information so the Government may evaluate its Technical Experience volume.

L.4.2 Volume II - Cost/Price Factor

L.4.2.1 Electronic spreadsheet files (Workbooks) shall be sent in MS Excel 2013 compatible format, and include all formulas, functions, macros, computations, or equations used to compute the proposed amounts. There can be no cell references to data or files which are not included in the Cost Volume. For each Workbook, all Rows, Columns, Cells and Worksheets must be Visible. Zero height/Zero width rows/columns in Worksheets are not acceptable. Worksheet cells formatted with the Font color equal to the Fill color are unacceptable.

If Workbooks or Worksheets are password protected, then the password(s) must be provided.
